Sportsbooks will be watching the situation with Florida quarterback Tim Tebow after he suffered a concussion in Saturday’s win over Kentucky. The Gators are still #1 in the country and the college football betting favorite at the offshore sportsbook to win the national title.
Sportsbooks will have Florida favored in every game this season if Tebow is at quarterback. The great offshore sportsbook news for the Gators is that they have a bye this week before facing LSU. That extra rest time should be huge as Tebow recovers from the concussion.
Tebow was released from the University Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky on Sunday and was only held for precautionary reasons. “Tim is doing fine this morning,” head coach Urban Meyer said. “His CT scans came back and indicated that Tim suffered a concussion. Our medical and athletic training staff will continue to monitor him to determine how much rest and recovery he needs. We will have additional information and updates this week.”
The LSU is expected to be the toughest regular season game for the Gators as sportsbooks odds indicate. Florida is 4-0 and could easily go unbeaten if they get past LSU on the road in offshore sportsbook results. The college football betting game does set up well for Florida though since it follows their bye week as sportsbooks schedules show. The Gators will have extra time to recover and to game plan for the Tigers. If Tebow is healthy the Gators will be favored on the road in sportsbooks odds.
Offshore sportsbook info indicates that Florida was leading 31-7 in the third quarter against Kentucky when Tebow was sacked and fell backward and hit his head against teammate Marcus Gilbert’s leg. It also didn’t help that Tebow was sick coming into the game. He didn’t let it bother him though as he ran for 123 yards and two TD’s and threw for 103 yards and a TD.
Florida was able to win and cover the sports betting spread at the sportsbooks. Many people believed that the Gators would suffer because of the illness to Tebow and other players but that was not the case. People were actually betting on Kentucky in this game but they really never had a chance as the Wildcats were pummeled. The Gators scored 31 points in the first quarter and rolled over Kentucky in sportsbooks sports betting results.
